Can weed help withdrawal symptoms of a pain killer addict?

by Symptom Advice on March 11, 2011

I know someone who has been on Suboxone since April for a pain killer addiction and this person now wants to stop the suboxone. I was reading a sub forum where some people said smoking weed can help with the withdrawal symptoms, is this true?

I have heard that you can use weed to get off of a pain killer, but you shouldn't just advise someone to do this without knowing a great deal about the drug in question. if I were you, I'd have the person consult with his or her doctor about getting off of the drug, just to be on the safe side.

You may be able to find more information at the website erowid.org/

Weed can help anything, lol.

I do know that Wellbutrin is sometimes given for speed addictions to taper off the effects (I once had a diet pill addiction & was prescribed it for that). I'm not sure if it would work for pain killer addictions though.

Yes, however, its like replacing addictions, and shouldnt be done..

It can help with nausea and vomiting.

At the very least they'd be too stoned to care
